Counselling in 3152

The goal of my is to provide an early intervention and preventative approach to maintaining health and wellbeing for individuals, couples and families. The client will find my Counselling sessions to be in a non-judgmental or confidential setting, a genuine caring safe environment. This enable the clients to openly talk and identify the concerns that are being un-productive at this point in their lives. This results in helping the clients in moving towards increasing personal insight and improving self-confidence. My aim in Counselling is to help my clients find new life skills.

If you find yourself stuck in unresolved anger, resentment or prolonged grief that is impeding your ability to enjoy life now, I can help you release it. I honestly believe we should be able to enjoy our lives and grow from the challenges we face. When you get stuck there instead I can help you change that challenge into an opportunity for transformation. I also provide assistance for women at transitional stages of life - especially approaching retirement or in early retirement. I can also assist with emotional distress as a result of overwhelm, inner conflict, over-reaction, worry or overeating.

I like to focus my clinical work on helping my clients work out what’s preventing them from getting on with what they want to achieve in life, and supporting them as they overcome those obstacles. Whether they're dealing with a clinical diagnosis like depression or anxiety, unhealthy relationship patterns or severe situational stresses. I strongly believe that whatever a client wants to work on, a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in working towards positive change in any area of life and that's what I aim to provide.

I have a special interest in working with people experiencing Depression, Anxiety and Stress. You may feel like you are just surviving rather than thriving. I can help you understand where things are getting stuck for you, why those patterns might keep happening, and strategies to help you get more out of life.

We are all unique and as such a ‘one size fits all’ approach to therapy is inappropriate. The use of diagnosis and labels can be helpful to inform the most useful interventions, however my years of working with people have shown that every person needs to be seen as an individual with their own combination of life experiences, circumstances, capacity and goals. Therapy is successful when the following conditions are met : trust and honesty are vital; an initial goal-focussed plan is needed, however this should be dynamic and client led with the understanding that review and change are required to achieve the results you deserve.

If you're struggling with shame, anxiety, or existential concerns related to your religious background (whether you have left your religious community or are still happily a part of it), I'm here to help you move forward.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to explore, deconstruct, and create new understandings that feel true to who you are.
